Experts Day for Startups – Apply Here (Due 7/7)

UPDATE – APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED:

Thanks to everyone who’s applied in the last few weeks. We’ve now closed the application form and will be sending out invites over the next few weeks in July. If this goes well, we’ll try and run it again in the future.

Excited to announce a new, fun experiment to help startups and entrepreneurs: Experts Day 2017.

The goal of the Experts Day will be to bring together a small, highly curated group of post-launch startups – fewer than a dozen – and to get them to the next level in terms of expertise, operations, and leadership.

We’ll do that by bringing talented entrepreneurs together with the best minds in the tech world. It’ll be free to participate with no economic strings attached – the goal is just learning and meeting great people.
